The story of our Jubilant Jaguar Jerky begins in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. While on a hunting expedition, a group of indigenous villagers stumbled upon a jaguar feasting on a freshly killed deer. The villagers had never seen a jaguar eat jerky before, so they were curious to try it. They were amazed by the flavor and texture of the jerky, and they quickly adopted the recipe as their own.
The villagers shared the recipe with other tribes in the rainforest, and soon, jerky became a staple food for many indigenous people in the region. The jerky was not only delicious, but it was also a great way to preserve meat. The villagers would often make large batches of jerky and store it for months, so they would always have a supply of food on hand.
In the 19th century, European explorers began to arrive in the Amazon rainforest. They were introduced to jerky by the indigenous people, and they quickly realized that it was a delicious and portable food. The explorers began to bring jerky back to Europe, and soon, it became a popular snack among people all over the world.
Today, jerky is still a popular snack food. It's made in many different ways, using a variety of different ingredients. Our Jubilant Jaguar Jerky is a unique take on the classic snack. It's made with flank steak, paleo-friendly teriyaki sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, almond butter, ground ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, and water. The steak is marinated for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight, then air-fried until crispy. The result is a delicious, chewy jerky that's perfect for on-the-go snacking.

Why It Works
The flank steak is sliced against the grain, which makes it more tender and easier to chew.
The paleo-friendly teriyaki sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, almond butter, ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper give the jerky a delicious flavor.
The jerky is marinated for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight, which allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
The jerky is air-fried until crispy, which gives it a great texture.
